Bessie Mallette Eighme.

Entered into rest, November 4, 1887, Bessie Mallette Eighme, aged Is years, 8 months and 15 days. It is with full heart we pen the above sad words Un- der circumstances peculiarly sad, her young life, so full of promise, cut off, inst as she had entered upon fuller and rich CT womanhood. suddenly snatched from those she loved so tenderly: Bright. low able, possessed of a more than ordinary degree of intelligence, d devoted wife and daughter. Our hearts go out in sympathy to that husband and father in this, their day of deepest gloom, to the aunt to whom she was so deeply attached and the girl friend she loved as a sister, to the host of friends who will mourn her so sincerely. On the first Sunday in May, she confessed her love for her Saviour, uniting with the church of her choice; on the 18th of May she stood before the altar bride. Six months have barely passed away and that pure spirit has flown to the God who gave it. Her whole life has been as a Summer S day, watched over by her father, who spared no expense, educating her at the best schools in New York and later at Golden Hill Seminary. gratifying her every wish, by the aunt who cherished and cared for her as her own child and by the husband who lies prostrate in his ter rible bereavement. Beautiful in life. beau tiful in death; We laid her mid the fow- CTS she loved so we'll.

John Henry, the Hopkinsville Desperate
Caught in this City-How and by
Whom it was Done.

Sandy Faulkner, the colored restaurant
man out near the passenger depot recently,
caused the public Of Clarksville to brand him
as good citizen. On last Saturday night, o
negro named John Henry, visited Sandys
place and was by no means an acceptable
guest. Sandy went over to the depot and
told Eugene Ahearn and Charles McManus of
the CnRoSIcLE force, that Henry was wanted
at Hopkinsviile for the attempted murder
and robbery ofa an named Fourqneap and
that reward of $3.50, was out for him.
Ahearn and McManus then went to Adams,
Gill & Cos, and telephoned thel police that
Henry was at Faulkners, and officers Lowe
and Stafford receiving the news first leaped
into a back and upon arriving at Faulkner's
proceeded to cover Henry with their guns.
The murderer surrendered at once and was
placed in the hack and taken TO Jail. Officers
Ginley and Morrison arrive short time after
the arrest had been made. The prisoner had
$50, 70 on his person when arrested. He was
safely conveyed to HopiSinsyille ON Sunday.
and the matter of the reward will be settled
In the near future.
